The other possibility is that it's counterfeit; counterfeit $2 coins often look half-melted with missing or wrong details. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff

Sap Moderator Australia 17002 Posts	Posted 06/21/2023 6:10 pm Well, for starters, the pictures you're posting aren't of a 2009 coin; they're of a 1997 coin. The portrait is wrong for 2009. Secondly, you refer to "others" posted on the forum. The only example I could see are in this old thread, where one such coins is posted; the coin in that old thread has been deliberately defaced (you can see the file marks radiating out from the centre in the top picture), and is not a mint error. Finally, your pictures are too blurry to make any kind of judgement as to the authenticity or otherwise of this coin. It might be just a counterfeit coin, as I mentioned earlier; the pictures are too blurry to tell. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff
